How to record your highlight video:

• Ideal video length: 4 to 6 minutes.
• The player must be clearly identified in every clip (circle, arrow, or marker).
• Record from an elevated and central position, where the full court and play development can be seen.
• Always continue each play until the possession ends (basket, foul, turnover, etc.).
• Use a tripod or stable support; avoid handheld footage.
• Avoid excessive close-ups; the goal is to show game understanding, decision-making, and positioning.
• Avoid long introductions. Optionally, include a 5–7 second title screen with: name, position, height, graduation year, team, and contact information.
• Start with your best plays first, followed by complementary actions.
• Avoid clips showing complaints, negative reactions, or poor body language.
• Include both offensive and defensive actions.
